Question:

I have a 2018 Ram Laramie crew cab with the x-short bed. What options do I have to mount 4 Kayaks on this truck? I have an existing Thule setup for my 2004 Suburban but the Suburban had factory roof rails. The Ram does not have any roof rails. Do you offer anything to mount 4 Kayaks on their side?

Expert Reply:

I recommend the Thule square bar system to mount your 4 kayaks to your 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab. There's a few separate parts you need:

Square Load Bars, Item # TH712400
Roof-Rack Foot Pack, Item # TH710501
Roof-Rack Fit Kit, Item # TH145106

Once you have the roof rack add the Stacker, Item # TH830, to carry the kayaks on the rack. It's a great choice because it can handle all 4 of them. Although if your kayaks are 10 feet or longer then the Thule Stacker will not work for you. In which case use to of the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073. You will also need additional straps like the Yakima Tie-Down Strap with Buckle, Item # Y04031.
